Here it is, my Tumi collection.

[TheVTCGuy]

Ahem... Now, keep in mind a couple things when you look at this picture and listen to my explanation. 1. Is I travel, A LOT. I am Executive Platninum status on American Airlines which means on that airline alone, I traveled over 100,000 miles last year. 2. Besides Rolex, I don’t really have any other expensive vices, and with no kids to put through college so I can splurge on some finer things in life, the fact that I choose a nice brand of my luggage and acessories does not mean I am depriving any other part of my responsabilities. And, 3. I’m a Dorklehead. Shall we begin?

In the back, (sorry for the not so great picture) we start with two essential luggage components, a carry on and checked-size. These are pretty obvious, when you are on an extended trip or need to take a lot, you check a bag. If not, you take a carry on. My carry on is an expandable and very-nice model called the Arrive Gatwig, I will show another picture of it later.

Now, on top of those two you see two backpacks, one is ballistic nylon, the other is a leather. The ballistic Nylon is my gym bag. I live about two miles from my gym and walk there whenever possible as part of my excercise routine. The Leather backpack is used on some of my trips when I need to take my computer, but am not walking in to a meeting and require a briefcase. It carry’s a lot, protects the computer extremely well and comes in very handy.

Moving on....

The rolling briefcase in front of those two I use quite a bit. If you are going on a short trip where you do not need to wear a suit, but need your computer this is perfect. For a one or two day trip, where a sport-coat will do, this easily carries enough of your essentials and some extra room.

In front of that I have my Tumi Jacket (I just returned from a trip to Canada and BOY was it necessary!), And a weekender bag. This is a bag I just use for whatever, visiting my parents for the weekend or on my hiking trips to carry extra stuff in the car or for whatever you need a bag for.

Finally, I have a very nice Ashton Briefcase. I think every man should have a nice briefcase and walking in to an important meeting with one makes a statement. Call me shallow or whatever else you want but I like having that nice briefcase when I am entering an important meeting and discussion; maybe it’s just me.

Oh, and you may also see my little... uh...er... well.... purse. Whenever I travel internationally, or sometimes domestic, basically a long flight, I use it. I put my travel case in the overhead but keep that... uhm.... purse, with me in the seat and it holds my headphones, any medicines, reading glasses, tickets, wallet, anything I might use during the trip and don’t have to get up and go in to the overhead to get out of my carry-on.

The rest, are various toiletry kits, battery bags, an umbrella, a card case etc. I find a use for every one.

So, that’s it.... at least for now, check back with me when the sale is over....

This doesn’t make me weird does it?

If you was not a single it looks like she have kick you out.

Thanks for posting this Paul! You have an awesome collection there and all the bases covered.

Seriously, I guess I'm a dorklehead as well, but I also appreciate luggage, briefcases and bags in general.

That rolling brief case looks like a very functional piece indeed. The purse you refer to it as, is also something I use quite regularly but only when I travel. My wife doesn't like when I wear it around home for some reason Where are you supposed to put your: sunglasses, cell phone, gum, keys, wallet and whatever else? I hope one day it'll be as common place here in NorthAmercia to wear them as it is in Europe.

Thanks again for sharing.

Looks like in Tumi store! But even better! My quess is that they should ask you what to produce next. Great collection

Wow. My wife doesn’t even have that much luggage.

[Burlington]

If Batman had luggage...

[Jocke]

This will give you "pack your bags and go to hell" a whole new meaning.

[SearChart]

Ehm Paul, you might need some help

[superdog]

You have problems dude.

[Dr. Robert]

Bah humbug Paul, pay no attention to the rest, you have enough to make a quick getaway!
You can probably pack up all your cares and woes and get the hell out!

[antbkny]

Nice stuff

[crew]

Paul, please take this to heart. The first step is admitting you have a problem...

[Romeojk]

Weird...of course it makes you weird.

Join the club! Normal is boring.

Terrific collection and an even better story. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a good weekend

By the way, you make me want to get a nice briefcase!

[RW16610]

Nice collection, Paul

[The Libertine]

You could open your own Tumi Kiosk in a mall or somewhere!

[AzPaul]

You're gonna need more than twelve steps.

[The Joker]

livin the dream dude

[Brenngun]

I see a couple of holes in your collection Paul but I'm certain you'll fill them very soon. Also the bubble boy jacket has to go

[brandrea]

[Dr.Brian]

I actually expected to see more.
You should see some of the whisky and cologne collections. 2-600 x a couple hundred bottles adds up quick.
You need more!
Cheers pal.

[shaunylw]

I’ve been waiting for this thread! Paul has cost me $600 in the last two months in tumi. Worth it.

Best zinger of the bunch!

[dddrees]

I'm a leather addict, I admit it.


Well, then there's those things that are banned. Oh well, you can't take it with you. LOL

[Slippy Chips]

That’s a fine collection! Not excessive at all (and I don’t mean that sarcastically). Don’t forget the piece you sold me is still going strong and getting lots of use. Also, thanks to you, it has a couple of other TUMI friends to hang out with
